Her Sweet turn to leave the Homestead

Her Sweet turn to leave the Homestead Came the Darker Way -- Carriages -- Be Sure -- and Guests -- too -- But for Holiday

'Tis more pitiful Endeavor Than did Loaded Sea O'er the Curls attempt to caper It had cast away --

Never Bride had such Assembling -- Never kinsmen kneeled To salute so fair a Forehead -- Garland be indeed --

Fitter Feet -- of Her before us -- Than whatever Brow Art of Snow -- or Trick of Lily Possibly bestow

Of Her Father -- Whoso ask Her -- He shall seek as high As the Palm -- that serve the Desert -- To obtain the Sky --

Distance -- be Her only Motion -- If 'tis Nay -- or Yes -- Acquiescence -- or Demurral -- Whosoever guess --

He -- must pass the Crystal Angle That obscure Her face -- He -- must have achieved in person Equal Paradise --
